Monday, October 1st, 2007

Coconino County Parks and Recreation calls on volunteers to join the Trail Day to complete the connector trail from Fir to Sechrist Elementary School on Sunday, October 14 from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm.

We’ll supply lunch, drinks and snacks to keep your energy level up! There will be raffle tickets and loads of smiles and joking! Just look at NATRA President, Neil Weintraub! Come and spend your morning or all afternoon with us! Contact Mark Gullo at (928) 214-0106 or email him at trails@flagstaffbiking.org if you have any questions.
